I also got Valerie's Miranda, one of the absolute best minerals I've ever owned. I have a full-size of this and I had to get another one for a backup because I use this often. This looks beautiful as a wash or foiled on the lid, and is described on the site as a coppery pinky-flesh. To me it looks similar to MAC's Goldenaire pigment, but less pink and more champagne-y, although the pink is still very noticeable. When I got my new Miranda, however, it looked a lot less champagne-ish gold, and a little more pink. I don't know which one I like better, so I included both swatches in the photo.
I also got a new mineral called Gratitude, and this one is a shimmery pale pink that would also look great as a wash. I finally laid my grubby hands on Gala, a beautiful dark pigment that would look great as a crease color or liner. It reminds me of MAC's Blue Brown pigment but without the blue overload.
All in all, Valerie Beauty has some of the best mineral selections available because of the very pigmented products and ultra-smooth application. They are not just mini mica bombs that emit all sparkle but very little color; they are truly rich in hues and I love the fact that these go on very smoothly. They foil really great, too. If you want to check out great minerals with rich colors and amazing staying power, check out Val's minerals, and with the liquidation, they're greatly priced as well. Val's customer service is top-notch as well (I e-mailed her about my shipment because it took a while for it to arrive although it was already shipped out over a week before; she answered promptly and quickly assuaged my fears). High quality products and amazing customer service, what more could a makeup junkie ask for?

Hey there...check out my site/blog if you like minerals (obviously you do, considering all that you mention them on your blog).
I'm just launching my line in a month, so it's not available yet. Let me know if you want to be on the mailing list for samples.
thanks
